New Weight Loss Diet Recommends "Big Breakfast"
Researchers have found a possible way to overcome the common problem of dieters who want to successfully lose weight, long-term... Eat a big breakfast each morning packed with carbohydrates and protein, then follow a low-carb, low-calorie diet the remainder of the day.
Most weight loss studies have determined that a very low carbohydrate diet is not a good method to reduce weight because it typically exacerbates the craving for carbohydrates and slows metabolism. As a result, after a short period of weight loss, there is a quick return to obesity.
Interestingly, only five percent of carbohydrate-restrictive diets are successful after two years, because most carbohydrate-restrictive diets do not address the critical issue of addictive eating impulses.
Scientists from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, conducted a study, which they reported shows that a weight-loss diet's long-term effectiveness depends on its ability to increase a sense of fullness and reduce "Carb Cravings." They compared their recommended diet with a strict low-carb diet in 94 obese, physically inactive women. Both diets were low in fat and total calories but differed significantly in total carbohydrate intake.
Forty-six women were on the very-low-carb diet, which allowed them to eat 1,085 calories a day. The diet consisted of 17 grams of carbohydrates, 51 grams of protein and 78 grams of fat a day. The smallest meal was breakfast, at 290 calories. For breakfast the dieters were permitted only 7 grams of carbohydrates, such as bread, fruit, cereal and milk. Dieters could eat just 12 grams of protein, such as meat and eggs, in the morning.
On the new diet, referred to as the "big breakfast" diet, the other 48 dieters ate 1,240 calories a day. Although lower in total fat (46 grams) than the other diet, the new diet had higher daily intake of carbs (97 grams) and protein (93 grams). Dieters ate a 610-calorie big breakfast, consisting of 58 grams of carbs, 47 grams of protein and 22 grams of fat. The diet schedule for lunch was 395 calories (34, 28 and 13 grams of carbs, protein and fat, respectively); dinner was 235 calories (5, 18 and 26 grams, respectively).
The first half of the eight-month study focused on weight loss, and the last four months on weight maintenance. At four months, the women on the strict low-carb diet dropped an average of about 28 pounds, and the women on the big-breakfast diet lost nearly 23 pounds on average, which according to the research team was not significantly different. But at 8 months, the low-carb dieters regained an average of 18 pounds, while the big-breakfast group continued to lose weight, shedding another 16.5 pounds. Those on the new big breakfastdiet lost more than 21 percent of their body weight, compared with just 4.5 percent for the low-carb group. Furthermore, the study found that women who ate a big breakfast reported feeling less hungry, especially before lunch, and having fewer cravings for carbs than the other women did.
The research team concluded the "big-breakfast" diet works because it controls appetite and cravings for sweets and starches. It also is healthier than an extremely low-carbohydrate diet because it allows people to eat more fruit and therefore get important fiber and essential vitamins.
Results were presented in June, 2008 at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
Vegetable Source Protein Valuable For Hypertension and Cardiovascular Health
London: Consumption of vegetable protein lowers blood pressure, according to a cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted by members of the INTERMAP Cooperative Research Group (Arch Intern Med, 166, 1:79-87, 2006) (http://archinte.ama- assn.org).
Researchers measured dietary vegetable protein intake, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (taken eight times at four different sessions), and took two 24-hour urine samples of 4,680 persons, who were aged 40 to 59 years and from four countries. Differences in blood pressure associated with higher vegetable protein intake were -2.14 mm Hg systolic and -1.35 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure; after further adjustment for height and weight, these differences were < 1.11 mm Hg systolic and < 0.71 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure.
The researchers concluded protein intake was inversely related to blood pressure levels, and noted this finding is consistent with recommendations that a diet high in vegetable-source protein products be part of healthy lifestyle for prevention of high blood pressure and related diseases.
